She felt the nervousness and anger within her rising. she clenched her hands, gripped her teeth, cold sweat dripped from his cheeks. Nathalie is confused. Confused whether to trust or not. Confused of what to do, what to say and what to feel. She bit her lips in nervousness, still sweating. She took a deep breath, finally deciding to tell Dominique the truth, her secret, her powers.

This time, she bit her finger. Dominique was taken aback. Nathalie continued biting her finger, harder. It finally bled, she felt the heat that was rising from hands. Then, it appeared. Just like that, her power is finally revealed, not in front of her sister, not her parents, not even a friend. She's just a classmate Nathalie knew. Her hands are still on fire. Still in awe, Dominique stared hard at Nathalie's hand, she felt like it was a dream, so magical.

"Done staring?'' said Natahalie as she washed her hand.

"I never expected that you're such a straight person.''

"Enough to show you, want more?'' said Nathalie in a sarcastic voice.

    Dominique scoffed as she crossed her arms, leaning on the wall.

"That's it? I was expecting something more.''

"What do you expect?'', she said, sighing. "Something that can destroy the world?'', she continued as she was still washing her hands at the sink.

She washed her hands hard, harder and harder every second. The fire doesn't seem like it was going to go out. So she went inside one of the toilet rooms and washed his hands with the hose there. The fire is still not going out, it got bigger. She starts to panic. The fire was burning her hands.

"Hey, you okay?'' Dom said as she opened the door.

"Do I look okay?'' Nathalie said, holding her hand, still burning.

Nathalie ran out of the toilet room and continued washing her hand at the sink, hoping the fire would go out. After quite some time, the fire finally went out. Nathalie sighed out of relief. Her hands, still hot. Today seems really weird, many unexpected things happened. She took a deep breath once more.

"Okay, now you won't tell anyone, will you?''

Once again she asked Dom, still suspicious of her. Dom just nodded as she was still shocked after what just happened. Nathalie decided to sit there for a while longer, to calm down, to process everything that happened on this weird day.           

    Dom decided to sit down beside Nathalie, accompanying her, also taking a deep breath. Nathalie felt kind of glad that somebody was beside her, also calming down. She calmed down much faster than before, but she is still afraid, afraid that something will happen to her once more, something bad. Dom had realized this and held Nathalie's hand.  She once again felt glad. They sat there silently for some more on the bathroom floor.

"Should we get back to the classroom?'', Dom said, still holding Nathalie's hand.

"Yeah, sure, let's go,'' said Nathalie, grabbing the mope beside her.

"Haha, after all that you still remember to take that?'', said Dom, laughing.

Nathalie lets out a chuckle. She gets up, holding out his hand towards Dom. Dom took Nathalie's hand, smiling, she didn't know what she was feeling, maybe relieved, maybe happy, happy because Nathalie didn't hate her as much as before. They glanced at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, what are we being so dramatic about? Hahaha'' said Nathalie, laughing.

"Why would I know? Hahaha, You should look at the expression on your face,'' answered Dom, also laughing.
